23 was probably an Authority loophole bad guy. If they post a comment and use your name exactly, any link you may have earned gos to them.

That is not how it was taught. it is taught leave a good message(s) or comment and you may be rewarded. ekn

as for Knob and tube. i am an insurnace agent and still have some in my house. few old homes ever get it all out. My electrician and inspector said there is nothing inherently wrong with it. just do not plug in two hair dryers in the same socket.

Telling people not to use a certain company is not libelous. It's just your opinion. Saying stuff that damages the company that is untrue could be considered libelous.

As a further update, when we renovated our basement last year, we upgraded all our wiring.

We've had the same problem with our insurance company. We recently had a huge flood and we were insured fully for it. Now they are playing the 'rulebook' and saying bc of certain contingencies that they won't be paying. Absurd!

As an update, we decided to go with our auto insurance provider. What a completely opposite experience.

For anyone in southern Alberta who wants hassle-free home insurance, see Mark Zemp at Ridgeview Insurance in Raymond.

I completely agree with seeking out a home that is within walking distance to ammenities…we did that also, and I adore it!

Thanks for helping us look into this (to you and your husband). As Kim said, we found out it isn’t a risk at this time, but we will have to upgrade the wiring, and we were told that improper modifications to knob and tube wiring are a huge risk to safety.

For the record, our electrician has informed us that there is no safety risk with the knob and tube wiring, particularly since the wiring is still connected to the old panel box, which in turn is connected to the 100 amperage through the new panel box.

The city’s electrical inspector has confirmed the safety risk assessment.

Both have stated that many old houses in Lethbridge have upgraded amperage without any occurrence of fire or other ill effects.

We have our house insurance with GEICO (to go with our auto insurance)and it was very competitive in price.

Wish you luck.
